They result from the repeated and inaccurate translations that many names went through in the course of various English occupations of Scotland. Uson has been spelled Hewison, Heweson, Howeson, Howeston, Howstoun, Huison and many more.

Scottish settlers arrived in many of the communities that became the backbones of the United States and Canada. Many stayed, but some headed west for the endless open country of the prairies. In the American War of Independence, many Scots who remained loyal to England re-settled in Canada as United Empire Loyalists. Scots across North America were able to recover much of their lost heritage in the 20th century as Clan societies and highland games sprang up across North America. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Usons to arrive on North American shores: William Hewison who settled in Georgia in 1775.
